SANS SOUCI - elegant villa w/pool & "even better than the photos" views

'Sans Souci' translates to 'without worries' & we can see why. Situated in a prestigious West End estate, the views of the glimmering ocean & neighbour islands are truly spectacular. Nestled amongst tropical palms, it's a tranquil oasis.

Homely & welcoming with great amenities, you may want to stay put. However the desirable location means you're within 10 mins of beaches, restaurants, bars, shops, surf, ferries & more!

LIVING AREAS:
The neutral tones, Caribbean style paintings by local artists & beautiful quality Balinese teak furniture lends a calming backdrop for the views to take centre stage.

On the ground floor the remodelled kitchen is well equipped with stainless steel appliances, washer and dryer and all the gadgets you need. The Dining room offers seating for 8 and large sliding doors and screens on 2 walls providing light and breezes and the amazing ocean views. The living room has plenty of comfy seating, also has azure vistas and, if you can bear to tear your eyes away from them, a 55" SmartTV with FLOW cable and DVD player for your entertainment needs.

BEDROOMS & BATHROOMS:
1) The new primary suite on the ground floor is a wonderful addition making this villa perfectly comfortable for just one couple without feeling overwhelmingly large. Everything about this suite is luxurious....from the king-size teak four-poster bed and built-in closets to the striking bathroom with double vanity and walk-in shower. Add to that the sliding doors at the foot of the bed that lead directly to the pool a few feet away...it's got to be the best way to wake up there is!

2) On the first floor you'll find the remaining bedrooms. Sleep like royalty in the gorgeous teak sleigh bed in the spacious king suite with walk-in closet and large bathroom with double vanity and shower. Sliding doors led onto the upper wraparound deck with the same mesmerizing views.

3) A 3rd bedroom with queen bed and built-in closets again offers the ocean views and breezes with the large sliding doors at the foot of the bed. A bathroom with shower located on the landing is shared by this bedroom and anyone who might be staying the office, although there is also a half bathroom is also located on the ground floor.

4) The office is not only the perfect WFH space (with hi-speed internet) but also has a futon (making a total of 8 guests) & its own AC unit. It's also located on the first floor and is nice and spacious and looks out to the pool and the ocean beyond. It too has access to the wraparound upper porch.

STEP OUTSIDE:
You're definitely going to be enjoying the great outdoors at Sans Souci, the views really are breath-taking. They can be enjoyed from multiple comfy loungers and seating arrangements around the villa, whether it's sun or shade you're after. The wraparound deck accessed from the living & dining room has an alfresco dining table which is a magical place to share meals with your family & friends with an ocean breeze.

The grilling deck (both gas and charcoal BBQ's available) is the perfect spot to grill up a local Anegada lobster as the sun sinks below the horizon. The infinity edge pool is an idyllic location for a cooling dip with a drink or a book at any time of the day. We've said it before, but the views really are magnificent and these are the things that make 'Sans Souci' or 'Without Worries' the perfect name for this gorgeous villa.
